Are You Addicted to the Internet?

[redmarvel]

Do you spend over 12 hours a day online? Do you surf endlessly without satisfaction? Do you feel hopeless and angry when your connection drops? If so, you may be addicted to the Internet. But fear not, in this day and age you have options other than chopping your Ethernet cord cold-turkey.

Rehab clinics are opening around the world for internet addiction. First in China, now in Italy.

Do you spend over 12 hours a day online?
No, and I don't mean "No, I spend more!"

Do you surf endlessly without satisfaction?
I go where I need to. When I'm finished, I log off.

Do you feel hopeless and angry when your connection drops?
No, but sometimes annoyed.

[Kaleb]

Let us make a poll and decide.

[Mr Sparkle]

I just find it useful for the most part, as entertainment :up:

[Kaleb]

i have spent the last 8yrs travelling overseas so most of the time ,im chatting to my friends over there.

[mightiest_mortal]

Yep, im an addict :up:

[Morg]

I'm addicted to elisha...and porn :)

[Kaleb]

Thats a dangerous combo :(

[black_dust]

I cant remember what the sun looks like.

[hippy fascist]

I'm addicted to elisha...and porn :)

Why oh why do the two have to be mutually exclusive :csad:

[Fran]

[mightiest_mortal]

I cant remember what the sun looks like.

ROFL Classic, mind if i Sig that? lol

[AndThePickles]

[black_dust]

ROFL Classic, mind if i Sig that? lol

[Hades]

I usually only post when I'm listning to music, or when I can't sleep at night.

So...that's basically it. I'm not really addicted, I don't think.
well, maybe a little.......

Oh yeah. Feel the burn from the high speed. Damn that's some good ****.

what?

It's only recreational.

[Kevin]

I am always here. Look at the times I post. I have no life.

[The Apatow Crew]

I'm addicted to the Hype I'll say that.

[hippy fascist]

I'm addicted to the Hype I'll say that.

Dude even without the internet you still wouldn't have a life. You'd just go out and buy a life size poster of alba,cut her out, mount it on card and sit there talking to it all day while slowly rocking backwards and forwards...:o

[GoldenAgeHero]

yes:(

[Maxwell Smart]

I don't spend over 12 hours a day, yet, I would still say I'm addicted...

[Kevin]

Edit.

[The Dude]

I fit two of the three. Am I addict-lite?

[Taiwarriorz21]

I believe that anybody with more than 3,000 post in like 1-2 years is extremely addicted to internet and neglecting important things such as school work, their job, and other aspects in life.

[Dodger]

Iwish i could be addicted to the internets....stupid life. :cmad:

[DBella]

No. Just addicted to the Hype and I don't think I am spending enough time here. *looks at postcount*

[Kyalesyin]

Nope. I have too many other things to do... college, housework, homework, my wife...

And we just bought the sims 2, so thats been eating whole chunks of my day. I'm more addicted to that than anything. I almost cried when one of my characters died.

And yet, I post on here when I'm at work and have yet to turn in a late project and have earned 3 raises.

:oldrazz:

[hyzak]

The art of multitasking, hooooowaaaaah.

[Canadian Rider]

Nope. Now could someone please post some ideas for DC characters for the Chamber ... that is where my time is going right now!

Thanks!




:ghost: Maybe a little addicted?

[Reptile]

Yes

[Wilhelm-Scream]

I am supremely addicted to the Hype while at work, since I'm paid to sit, alone, in this chair, and fake smile at people as they walk by.
If we didn't have the internet, I think I'd have to quit.
I can never go back to quietly reading and doing crossword puzzles and reading conspiracy theories all day.
It stinks of loneliness...and would represent a gaping dearth of laughter.

[Mr Sparkle]

ha, that cracked me up.

[tzarinna]

Addicted and I want no cure.

[enterthemadness]

I be surprised if this response hasn't been posted yet.

I am posting on a internet message board...a comic one to be exact...of course I am addicted.

A simple "YES" would've been sufficient. :)
